The Pearl of Wisdom® Campaign to STOP Cervical Cancer

Almost every case of cervical cancer could be prevented by effective cervical screening programmes together with vaccination against the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). However, many women around the world either do not have access to these life-saving tools or do know about them and therefore do not use them. As a result, 500,000 women develop and 250,000 women die from cervical cancer every year. Join us now as we work together to raise awareness and encourage the implementation of screening and vaccination programmes.

The Pearl of Wisdom Campaign to Prevent Cervical Cancer is a united, global effort to raise awareness of cervical cancer and how it can be prevented. Our campaign reaches out to women, healthcare providers, politicians, health advocates and the media. By working together, we can more effectively:

Raise awareness of the importance of cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination programmes

Encourage women to take full advantage of these programmes

Advocate for the implementation of these programmes so girls and women everywhere can be protected against this disease.

The campaign also promotes the Pearl of Wisdom as the global symbol for cervical cancer prevention. We ask supporters to wear their Pearl of Wisdom pin to show their support for the battle against cervical cancer, and to pass on Pearls of Wisdom to friends, family, and colleagues.
